Comment 25 for bug 571743

The proposed fix (removing ubuntu-desktop) did not work for me (also, I have kubuntu installed instead of mythbuntu). I still get the same error. My /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log reads...

DEBUG none of the '['ubuntu-desktop', 'kubuntu-desktop', 'xubuntu-desktop', ubuntustudio-desktop', 'ichthux-desktop', 'mythbuntu-desktop', 'kubuntu-netbook']' meta-pkgs installed
DEBUG guessing 'ubuntu-desktop' as missing meta-pkg
...blah blah errors about kubuntu-desktop...

I have no other "-desktop" packages installed, and kubuntu-desktop IS marked in aptitude as installed, so I don't know what it is complaining about.
